Tropical Weather Outlook issued at 8 PM Friday, August 28, 2026
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two systems in the Atlantic. The first, a tropical wave that would be the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, are located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Redevelopment of this system is unlikely while it moves westward to west-northwestward at near 25 mph. The wave could bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the next several days. Formation chance through 48 hours is near 0 percent, and through 7 days is near 10 percent.
The second area is in the Northeastern to North Central Gulf. Disorganized cloudiness and showers over portions of the NE and north central Gulf are associated with a weak area of low pressure. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow while it remains nearly stationary for the next several days. Formation chance through 48 hours is low, near 0%, and through 7 days at 10%.
